| Coriolanus Aug. 14 - Sept. 7, 2008 Thursday - Sunday 7:30PM Labor Day Monday, Sept. 1 7:30PM Centennial Park Bandshell, Shakespeare in the Park. Coriolanus is a play of action before thought. As Shakespeare’s final tragedy, it represents the worst in all of us. These Romans don’t consider the repercussions of their actions. They are easily swayed and manipulated by public and private opinion. They are petty and ruthless and want what’s coming to them. In the midst of them stands Coriolanus, an intensely honorable man with an awe-inspiring military record. Tempered by the searing righteousness of his mother’s morality, he is more machine than man. He holds himself to a higher standard and despises all who fall short of his criteria. He is a man of too little education and too much rhetoric. |

| In Shakespearean terms, he is destined to fail. In modern American terms, he is every individual set upon a pedestal for public scrutiny. | ||||
| Shakespeare in the Park Aug 10-Sept 10, 2006 In its 19th season, the Nashville Shakespeare Festival brings action, intrigue and Samurai sword fighting to Centennial Park this summer with its 2006 Shakespeare in the Park production of Macbeth. For a new twist on an old classic, Denice Hicks stages this timeless drama in a unique world blending a variety of global influences, Chinese choreography, eclectic costumes and original music all designed by local artists. The action of Macbeth—the shortest of Shakespeare’s tragedies and one of his most popular—tumbles madly from the prophetic opening scene to the chilling last acts of the troubled young warrior. The story explores the dangers of ambition and betrayal as it follows Macbeth’s bloody rise to the throne and ultimate descent from power. |
